Her
She is trying so hard to recognize her worth
Something she should have known at birth
Pretty is on the inside
All we have been taught is a lie
The ugly in the world is bringing her down
Making her frown
Why are they killing?
Molesting?
Raping?
How can she stop the pain?
Only then can she smile again
